Damien's performance in addition to the gyc and Stephan is a triumphant to reggae music. Yes they have it easy with the last name of marley but it is also a cross to bear and they carry that legacy well. All of them. In respects to Jamaican dance hall I would love to see more of this and to be honest I do not understand the hate towards the marleys and the gyc that I see on this forum.
They performed extremely well and my only complaint is that it should h e been a longer set so they could all spread their wings a bit more. I hope to see more of this in the future.

1) this is the only message board i read/go to.
2) i am an old guy.
3) this is the first time i have ever seen OP used here. methinks if it is so common i would have seen it sooner.
4) are we in such a hurry that we have to resort to abbreviating everything? What does it take, an extra 2-3 seconds to
actually type in original poster.....
5) i know most everyone who posts here are majorly cool/trendy but for those of us not so cool/trendy - how's about
typing what you mean and meaning what you type.....
6) can one of the tweeters please provide a link to "common message board abbreviations"?

I still don't understand the use of hashtags on FB and have been told that is because it is a #cool and #trendy way to #communicate. Did I do it right or am I just an old age geek like Mulligan. #Apologies for my #nerdiness.

yeah stamina - 'cuz everyone who posts here knows all the little time saving abbreviations...
i admit you are so much more in tune with the pulse of the internet than i. why insult those
who not are so 21st century?

breaking news...if you're on a message board, you may encounter folks who are regular message board users. They may be multitasking and not feel they need to spell out every word. Most board posters are more computer-literate than I am. To complain about such usage on said message board without either checking google or asking tactfully what it means without insulting any ones...well, imho you deserved the responses you got. "Mull" that over.

And, I do think, J_72, that you can use an objective approach to art and music similar to how you approach philosophy.

I guess my viewpoint comes from the fact that so many thought the Marleys were great, but I found it to be jumbled, chaotic, and hyped. The same with Midnite- I think they aren't that great of a band, but some think they are the greatest thing to happen to reggae. Jah Bill hates the Dead but loves the Stones, and I am quite the opposite. Does that make Bill's preference better or more objective? I don't think so.

It seems art is subjective, whereas philosophy, at least logic anyway, is more of an objective subject.

Why did you feel the need to accent that statement with multiple question marks??? Don't you think that appears somewhat aggravated???? LOL I'll leave this alone now, you've taken your fair share of good-natured chiding...and not just from me. If you come on this board, don't expect to be cossetted!

Yeah big up JA dancehall in it's myriad forms.
I should clarify, I was reacting strongly to the appearance of Wayne Marshall and then Damian to follow/. Seemed to be a strong representation of "modern JA dancehall" which I thought was a slight change of pace as I consider this a pretty roots oriented festival.
Good reasoning sameway, which is a cool word I picked up from this site. Who originated that word, "sameway"?

eastbay - what does one thing have to do with another? being a "huge liberal" shouldn't mean that I can't
think words are better than some 2 letter combination. join the NSA if you want to converse in code.

oh, you're pissed about prop 8 being overturned?. too bad. but look at the bright side, now you can
marry a goat.

no, not at all. It's just that i've been reading and posting here since the last 90's.....and i have NEVER seen OP.
do you agree that wft, rotfl, ot etc have been around longer, used more and are understood by more people than OP or EPA?

not everyone is as computer literate as you. you should have compassion for me. I don't know what all the little
abbreviations mean. how can I go on living???
